WIRELESS BRIDGING
OVERVIEW
The wireless bridging feature enables you to use the wireless radio to create point-to-point wireless links to other
access points (Figure 22). Each LPS-20x can support up to six wireless bridges, which can operate at the same time
as the network serving wireless customers. Wireless bridging provides an effective solution for extending wireless
coverage in situations where it may be impractical or expensive to install cabling to a wireless access point.
Figure 22. Wireless Bridging
In this scenario, the two LPS-20xs are used to expand the coverage of the wireless network controlled by the access
controller. The first LPS-20x is connected to the access controller via the backbone LAN. The other LPS-20x uses
the wireless bridging function to link to the first LPS-20x.
